Not to mention how this group of people found this place as a foothold, this fact has greatly facilitated Haibara Ai's movements.
At the end of the corridor is the lobby, and in front is the elevator leading to the ground, but most of it is unusable, and she doesn't dare to use it if it can be used.
This is the second underground floor. In addition to the direct elevator, there is only a secret safety passage leading to the top next to Yulu's original office.
It’s just that the passage needs to swipe a card to open the door... I don’t know if it’s still working now, or if it was destroyed by the fire.
Haibara Ai decided to go take a look, and she signaled Suzuki Sonoko to stop wandering around the hall and follow her.
Then he opened a door with his bare hands. Haihara Ai found that the elevator was indeed unusable, and because the safety brake door could not be opened, he had to continue walking forward.
"Shouldn't we go out from the hall just now?" Suzuki Sonoko was puzzled. According to normal people's logical thinking, there are corridors on both sides, so the exit should be in the middle hall.
Haihara Ai couldn't explain it. Fortunately, Yu Lu's office was not far from the lobby, so he didn't have to go through another door.
She remembered...the switch seemed to be a fire hydrant...well, it was a bit high.
Haiyuan Ai stepped on her feet and found that she couldn't reach the button of the fire hydrant on the wall. She stood there in silence for a moment and gently tugged on Suzuki Sonoko's sleeve.
"What...press this? Will this sound an alarm?"
"The electrical system here should be installed after the installation. There is not even a light in this half, and the emergency device should be broken."
What's more, this is not an emergency device at all. It won't make any sound when pressed. And in order to prevent internal power outage like now, this switch uses a mechanical brake.
Suzuki Sonoko was hesitant but hesitated to take action, but Akira Sugitani, who was standing aside, jumped up and shot towards the red button.
Akira Sugitani landed on the ground, and the next moment his eyes widened as he watched the black wall in front of him crack open in the middle, revealing a metallic door.
He turned back to look at Haiyuan Ai in disbelief. Not only him, almost everyone looked at Haiyuan.
Haiyuan stepped forward to check the card swiping machine and found that it was really out of power, so he opened the metal door in the same way.
The steps at the door lead directly to the top.
"Follow here and you should reach the surface." She breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone almost cheered, but several of them carefully covered the mouths of their companions, suppressing the cheers to a minimum.
At this moment of complete silence, the sound of "pa, pa, pa" applause came from the dark corridor.
"Who?" Haibara Ai blocked Ayumi beside him, while Sugitani Akira also stood in front and looked warily into the depths, but used one hand to push Amamiya Shoko toward the door. p>
A person slowly walked out of the corridor. Compared with the slovenly person who guarded them before, this person was well-dressed and completely incompatible with this dirty and messy environment.
"We haven't found this secret door here for so long. Children, how did you find it?"
His voice was not as rough as that of a kidnapper with facial makeup, but rather gentle. If she compared it to the people she knew, some would be like Jin Kuroki and Oka.
The man asked curiously and took a photo of something. The next moment, the alarm bell sounded in the corridor.
Haiyuan Ai's face was expressionless, "Do you think I will tell you?"
"It doesn't matter." The man watched his men pull out their guns one by one, rounding up the group, and chuckled: "You will always say, there are so many people here, there will always be someone who can make you talk."
"Extorting confessions under severe torture? Do you think I will be afraid of this?"
The man raised his eyebrows slightly, and Haihara Ai's reaction caught him by surprise. It was not at all like the reaction that a seven or eight-year-old child would give.
Didn’t you notice that the people next to her were almost crying?
There were footsteps on the left getting closer and closer. Akira Sugitani, who was near the emergency exit, thought it was the children who had just gone in who were coming back together. Just when he was about to scold him, he saw Shoko Amamiya being brought back by his collar.<
/p>
"...Damn it." Sugitani Akira cursed in a low voice.
"Stop struggling in vain." The strong man who came down from the stairs threw Shoko Amamiya down. Akira Sugitani took two steps forward to catch her, and the two of them rolled on the ground in a half circle.
"Boss, if you ask me, these people should take off their arms and legs, so that they can be honest."
The man smiled softly and walked forward slowly. As he walked, he said: "Don't be so harsh on our cash cow. After all, it is already very painful for such a young child to experience such a disaster. If you put more pressure on me, I will
It’s scary that they stopped breathing before they created any benefits.”
When the man walked out of the darkness, Haiyuan Ai could clearly see his facial features: a sickly pale face, gold-rimmed glasses with a gold chain hanging down the bridge of his nose, very much like the gentle scum described in the novel.
When the big man at the top of the stairs and the subordinates who came behind him saw the appearance of their boss, they all held their breath and did not dare to speak at all.
They know very well that the boss who has begun to fall ill cannot distinguish between friend and foe.
The man walked three meters in front of Haiyuan Ai, squatted down without warning, and said softly: "Kid, can you give me the gun in the hand behind your back?"
Haiyuan Ai calculated the probability of success in her sudden attack as quickly as possible, and the strong sense of crisis in her heart made her hesitate.
She has also received firearms training for a period of time in the organization. Among other things, she is very skilled in quickly opening the safety of a pistol, aiming and firing. Even if the opposite person is an adult man standing three meters away from her, she
You can also be more certain to shoot before the opponent rushes over.
But the sense of crisis was so strong that she almost had to tell her that if she fired, there would be irreparable consequences.
Haiyuan Ai pulled out a gun from behind, and the men around him were subconsciously on guard, but they were defused by the man raising his hand.
In full view of everyone, Haihara Ai turned the pistol upside down and slid it along the ground in front of the man.
The man made a pityful "tsk" sound.
"It's a bit difficult for me to know current affairs so well..." He said it was difficult to handle, and with a wave of his hand, a group of subordinates took everyone into custody, "Keep this kid, and take the others back."
"If you dare to let me go this time, you will be fed to the dogs."
The corridor soon became empty. The other person was wearing a straight suit, but he sat on the ground without caring, and walked over to Haiyuan Ai.
"Hey, you really can't tell me, why do you know there is a passage here?"
Hui Yuan Ai's hair stood on edge. She felt the danger of this man in horror, and she resisted not retreating and looked directly at him.
"What's in it for me?"
"I can spare your life...maybe?"
Hui Yuan Ai sneered, "You don't even believe it yourself."
"Hey, don't say that." The man said in that disgustingly gentle tone, "If the value you create exceeds yourself, maybe I will really consider accepting you as my partner.
”
"I'm so lonely. This boring life is really uninteresting, but..."
"I seem to be starting to wonder about your secrets."
